INV NTOR enwmoa,

Patented Apr. 12, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HARRY JAMES GREENWOOD, OF BRYANT, OKLAHOMA SOAP HOLDER Application filed February 21, 1929; Serial No. 341,793.

- in part be referred to hereinafter.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends the invention resides in those novel details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, all of which will be first fully described and then be specifically point ed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my invention in use.

Figure 2 is a cross section of the same, the collecting jar being shown in elevation.

In the drawings, in which like numerals indicate like parts in all of the figures, 1 represents the dish portion of the soap holder which, at its rear, is provided with an upright or back wall 4 that, in large measure, is a plane surface adapted to receive advertising matter.

The dish portion 1 is formed with a large opening 3 designed to fit the screw threaded mouth of an ordinary Mason or other similar type fruit jar I2 the latter, per se, being of ordinary construction does not constitute an essential part of my invention). The back 4 and dish portion 1 has a marginal concavo convex rim 6 to give strength to the structure as well as to lend a neat appearance and the back portion 4 is provided with apertures through which the fastening screws 5 may pass when it is desired to screw the holder to a wall.

7 designates reinforcing ribs formed at the en the angle and prevent the weight of the ar 12 and its contents from bending down the dish portion 1.

8 is a suitable grid (preferably of wire mesh) having a rod portion, the ends 10 of which project through apertures 9 in the 1 (llSll portion 1 and serve as a hinge whereby the grid 8 may be raised up to enable access to the aperture 2 when it is desired to deposit pieces of soap into the receptacle 12.

. juncture of the body 1 and back 4 to strength- The portion of the grid 8 is sustained on suitable legs 11 so that the grid may retain a normally horizontal position, and serve as a shelf on which a bar of soap may be laid.

The threaded cap-like portion 3 may be spun or pressed from the same metal as the body 1 or may be made separate therefrom and secured to the body 1 b soldering, brazing, or in any other suita le way so as to produce a structure of the desired rigidity. 1

From the foregoing it will be seen that the soap holder may be mounted on a wall, as shown in Figure 1, or the. jar 12 may be permitted to rest on a flat surface and thus sustain the soap dish.

From the foregolng descrlptlon, taken, 1n

connection with the accompanying drawings it is thought the construction, operation and advantages of my invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

What I claim is:

1. A soap holder comprising a dish portion having an opening surrounded by a threaded flange member adapted to fit on the threaded mouth of a jar, said soap holder also including a back portion and means to Y sustain the back portion in a plane at right angles to the general plane of the dish portion, and a grid held in the dish portion over said aperture.

2. A soap holder comprising a dish' portion havin an opening surrounded by a threaded ange member adapted to fit on the threaded mouth of a jar, said soap holder 5 also including a hack portion, lileans 'to s1'1s tain. the bee portion in' a plane at right angles to the general plane 0 the dish portion', a grid held in the dish portionxover said agature, said grid comglrismg a for-ami- 19 no'us y hinged to said 'sh (portion and adapted to be thrown up towar s said back portion to rmit access to said opening, said grid inclu 'ng legs opposite the hinge for sustaining the grid in a horizontal position.
